This weekend I took Friday off which was nice. Everyone needs a day off here any there. Anyways though Andy and I and his parents took off to go to the Toughest bowling tournament around. This tournament has been around since 1921, can you believe it. Andy and his dad were bowling at 8:30 on Saturday morning so it was the perfect time to take a day off and to do a little shopping before the bowling. We got up early on Saturday morning and left around 10:30-11:00 or so and started to drive. We were excited because we were stopping at Ikea! One of the greatest stores around.
We arrived and we wanted to check into the hotel first. So we did that and then we ate at Fridays... Yummmy.... Let me tell you they were more efficient with are order then I have ever seen. They had these cook hand held PDA to put our orders in and swipe credit cards. It was pretty cool looking....
Then it was off to IKEA... Andy's mom had never been there so she was looking forward to it. If you have never been it's 3 story's of home furniture and anything else you can think of for your house. This store is mainly for college students who need to budget. Things were cheap.... We had a lot of fun just looking around.. I bought a few things but nothing to major...
We went back to the hotel and we kind of rested and later that night we took for dinner to a restaurant called Teds something. They had bison to eat.... It was a pretty cool place. Something new...
That night we went to the bowling center to watch some past champions bowl. Carrie and I kept our self entertained by the girl who was trying to show off... That's another long story...
Saturday we all had to be up and dressed by at least a quarter to 8. Took off to go to the bowling center ( this bowling center was so cold I was in jeans and a sweatshirt) ... They have to keep it nice and cold for the guys... Andy's mom and I watched for a little while and then we went around the corner to do a little more shopping. Didn't find anything to major. I got a couple of 2008 cheap calendars. ( can you believe it's going to be 2008) By the time we got back the guys were almost done bowling.
We left from the bowling center and we decided to take a drive to Barrington. This place is known for the huge mansions... And boy were they huge... If your ever in the Chicago area take a venture out that way. Anyways though it was a fun trip but I'm glad to be home to sleep in my own bed with my own pillow...
